Legend says....scott showers himself with Super Clean and Purple Power! 😁

Boy oh boy did you swat the hornet's nest on this one Scott!!! Daily drivers get abused, full of oils and tar that regular soap just won't get off. I don't understand why so many people are angry here. Your solution is EFFICIENT and EFFECTIVE and the customer is HAPPY! Folks, remember, he's hustling to pay bills and not looking to spend an entire day washing one car.

I find myself watching these videos over and over again Scott. Thanks for all the valuable information you provide us 👍🏻 Ian

9:05 You'll need: Purple Power PH 10 Soap Meguiar's G18309 Ultimate Fast Finish

Thanks again for the invaluable tips!!! Love the content keep em coming....

Last year I did a full 2-step paint correction, clay, and acrylic-based sealer (Chemical Guys M-Seal) on my white Toyota Tundra. I washed it every week (pH neutral soap) and used an acrylic-based detail spray (Garry Dean's Force Field Boost) to dry or any time dust or bugs accumulated. I thought it looked great until one door was recently repainted. The rest of the paint looked very dingy next to the new paint. For a moment, I thought the shop used the wrong color. They had not used the wrong color white, so I realized that grime was the culprit and used every cleaner in my arsenal until finally I sprayed Megs Wheel Acid (4:1) and used a Magic Eraser to get off an amazing amount of accumulated filth, even though the truck had looked very shiny and repelled water with excellent beading. I then clayed & polished the entire truck again and applied a silica-based coating this time. (Black Fire Crystal Coat) My truck is 9 years old and is startlingly white again. Because grime had snuck in no matter my diligence, I no longer try to preserve the sealer on my maintenance customers' vehicles, using expensive systems. I use a caustic soap, (acid works great but you have to be careful not to have any glass etching) usually Purple Power, and then any good sealer that you can wipe on and buff off easily. (Ultima Paint Guard Plus is a terrific WOWA) Scott is revealing the simple truth of effective detergent release of grime from a surface. It is easier and cheaper to have better results if you will but heed his words.

I tried the purple power soap in the foam gun as a clay lube after the wash process. Works great and much cheaper than any other I've tried besides maybe onr wash & wax. But being able to do 90% of the work with one product is a winner in my works!!!

I used meguiars fast finish yesterday for the first time. I love it! now I gotta try the purple power! Scott you have always saved me and my pocket book lots of $$$. You just make sense!

Scott you are my spiritual detailing sherpa. Thank you thank you thank you for your videos. I watch you almost every night. You have taken my game to the stratosphere.

I love how you preach to us, man Always put everything into words so perfectly.

I would love to see this guy and ammonyc go at it lol

About time you made another video! Insightful video, thank you.

Wow so eye opening! Thank you very much for your content, this video is definitely changing the way I look at everything!

Scott, thanks for the video. I went out and bought a can of ultimate fast finish soon after watching. The can normally $18.99 was on sale for $9.55 at a local auto parts store. I was pleasantly surprised. Keep up the great work you do.

Hi Scott. Love you vids I learn quite a bit from you. Where I am in Australia is Purple Power used as dishwashing detergents? I am trying to find the Aussie equivalent. Keep up the good work

Hi Scott! Nice to see another informative video. When using the Ultimate Fast Finish do you apply it to the panel or an applicator? Also, as far as clay bar with so many available any recommendations? Thanks again for the valuable information.

You sir are a genius. I appreciate how much information you continue to give all of us keep up the great videos!

Awesome video, it opened my mind up to a new way of doing things and appreciate your knowledge

Why is fast finish hard to find now? It use to be everywhere now I can’t find it.

Hey Scott, Love your Videos!!! I am learning so much about detailing from you, not in the industry but just wanting to keep my vehicle as clean and protected as possible. What do you suggest for us up here in Canada that can't seem to get Purple Power? What is a good non-ph neutral wash on a retail level that will do the Job? Love you Brotha!!

Scott there is TOO MUCH TRUTH in this video... youtube might shut it down - PS i love you

Thanks for the tip! I learn so much from your videos!

This will be my maintenance wash for client cars going forward. Great results and cost effective for maximum efficiency/profitability. Thank you for a fantastic vid. 👍

Hey Scott I love the channel. Would you consider listing the products your recommending with a link to amazon. Your outing out great info and it will make them easier to get. Can't wait to use this method on our new Lexus (2000) but great condition. Thanks

Scott, you are one of the best in the car detail game. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Scott, your videos are great and I respect your knowledge. I'm wondering, if I regularly wash the car with purple power and apply Meguiars Ultimate Fast Finish afterward, how much benefit am I getting from an annual or biannual application of paste or cleaner wax? In other words, do I really need to wax anymore?

Can you make a video on how you price you maintenance package thanks very good videos you have a lot to offer

Scott, thanks for all your work, I was wondering if this meguires is applied to plastic trim as well, can't seem to find an answer thanks have a great Sunday

Love this, Scott! Sadly, Meguiars Ultimate Fast Finish is getting hard to find. What other products might take its place as an affordable, long-lasting, fast & easy applying sealant?

Hey Scott...Have you ever used one of them big red shaggy mop thingys to clean dust off a car? I seen one at the local wal-mart and the package said it was just as good as washing. So what's the scoop with those? Thanks and Love your videos man! -- Lot of useful and helpful info on those. Thanks for taking the time to post for us regular folks.

This is the video that opened up my eyes when I was first learning about auto detailing. 👍

They don't sell purple power vehicle and boat here in Canada. I found a product called Prestone Vehicle and Boat cleaner. Do you know if they are similar

Makes perfect sense...I've been diluting some APC in my foam cannon and foam my car with it before a wash...not sure if that's the best idea or not but dear god my paint is spotless every time I do it...takes tree sap and other contaminants right off and seems to extend the amount of time in between needing to clay bar

Hi Scott. I’m new to your channel and I love your videos. I live close to your old stomping grounds in Harrisburg PA and was wondering what would be the best way to maintain my vehicles during the fall, winter, and early spring since the temps are colder than the 55 degrees recommend by UFF?

I’ve been watching you for a while Scott, I appreciate your opinion and you have helped me a great deal since I’ve found this channel. I would like to know your thoughts and opinion on ceramic coating? Thanks

Nicely done Scott! Luv the vids.

Scott, your very correct about this. I even tested this overtime and you end up with a cleaner car more of the time then you would trying to hold a sealant for long periods of time. I washed my girls car the other day with PH neutral soap and there was still tree sap (that has been there for a year) on the car that would not come off. Switched to a non PH neutral soap and the junk lifted off. The car appeared cleaner and was smoother to touch (i had been using neutral soap before that). I switched my method to soaking and washing the no PH neutral soaps and adding a sealant then spray wax after each wash. Cars look fantastic, dust sticks less to them, cars look wet and smooth. The logic is sound, just not popular.

On the site of purple power they say it can “Possibly destroy the clear coat surface and damage the paint “ is this true?

After I clay bar my car can I wax it with paste wax then follow up with the Meguiars Ultimate Fast Finish for a sealer?

Will this method keep a 944 with guards red single stage paint from oxidizing? My old method of paste wax is not working. It oxidizes as soon as it sees the sun. Thanks for your videos, Scott.

I see how this is effective I do have a question what can you use as a drying aid be for you apply fast finish?

What are your thoughts on ceramic coatings, can they stop traffic film from making their way into the clear coat and if they do can the traffic film be easily removed with ph neutral soap?

Hey Scott. What should I do when I have a higher quality sealant that last 12 to 9 month? I don't wanna strip it off, but want to clean it good.

So how much soap do you use? I ended up filling up the foam cannon with purple power since it wasn’t foaming...maybe I have to much water pressure.

Scott ? is that purple power degreaser ? And how much ..do I use I ask because purple power makes a car soap as well ? So which one ? Do I use ??

Scott. How about rinseless washes? And is it still good practice to use a solvent based wax and grease remover after washing

FYI. There are several "Purple Power" products. make sure you get Purple Power Heavy Duty Boat and Vehicle power wash concentrate.

Scott will dawn dish detergent do the same deep cleaning? Thanks

So would it safe to use super clean/purple powers in a foam cannon on a car that had been ceramic coated?

Scott do you use the 6oz. per gallon dilution ratio for this even when you're not going to run it through a pressure washer?

So just wash with purple power then rewax? Or does the purple power not fully strip the wax and just needs a bit of extra on top?

Would you use this with a power washer and foam cannon? If so, how. thanks.

So any recommendations about what soap brand I should buy?

Love your videos but what's your opinion on soap that are a pH level of 10 insteadaybe something like a 7 or 8? Chemical guys citrus wash and gloss is apparently a 7 or 8 pH level. Would you consider that something strong enough to clean the car from road film?

Scott, is the purple power soap safe for coated vehicles? I'm thinking not. What is your experience?

Hi Scott, Been watching your videos for a few weeks now and leaned an awful lot about detailing my car. I don't know about all the tech stuff just that your a pro and if i follow the steps with products you advise my 15 year old car will look the best it can so keep the videos coming thanks bob.

So what do u think about dawn soap? I have a ceramic coating, and I use a hybrid ceramic way product that rinses on

can you use dawn for the same reason? will adding bleach to water do the same thing as using soap? does it have to be a surfactant?

This video makes perfect sense gonna do this ASAP more people should do this and not work so hard keep up great work on these videos!

Thumps up excactly i had this in my mind when o month ago witch started to.read about detailing... Something it didnt seems correct to me.....wash top clay top polish top wax and then quick wax to maintain....it didnt conviced me...and all the forums the first advice in the amateurs who wants to simple wash and a little protect their car is......Buy nautral shoap ...buy nutrtal shoap....unfortunatelly they dont think out of the.....company catalogs......greatings from Greece. I have a question ...i cannot find a proper alakaline shoap in my cauntry such as purple power,we have autoglym(you sould try those..remember me) sonax, 3m, chemigal gyus, manzerna, meguaris turtle wax,1z e.t.c but i cannot find a cheap daily wash shoap. Can i add in a neutral shoap some apc and have the same results as purple.power??

Thanks for the info. Great video's.

Hey Scott what are other soaps besides purple power boat wash to use that aren’t oh neutral? Great tip

Scott, good point but if I do a full "strip" and decon wash, clay sealant and wax 2xs per year. Is that still the rabbit hole? I would think the sealant and wax would repel the contaminants

Amen. Im done with high dollar sealers with road grime on them. Purple Power, blow dry, and Meguiars Quik Wax.

Great advice Scott. What do you think of Maguires Tech wax?

So do you recommend a high ph soap? Which soap do you recommend?

Scott, what if you have ceramic coating on the car. Is ph neutral good for that

What's the price and its durability of that white can sealant??

Nerd fight!! Great video. Always looking out for the consumer!

What's the dilution ratio of the purple power to make it safe to use on the paint?

Scott, is Simple Green effective?

Been using this mentality that you present for the past year or 2. I was in that rabbithole and this has made me feel better about washing my car. I do rinseless now and start with a dose of Super Clean on the panel. Let it sit, then start with the Wolfgang SiO2 wash and it works wonders. I dont scrub the super clean since i maintain my car every week. I scrub about once a month and just wash rinseless all the time. I use turtle wax ICE wax as my drying aid and protection to top off. :)

Is there European equivalent to the Purple Power? I can't find it on this side of the pond.

On rinseless; if I feel like I need to kick up the cleaning ability of my rinseless wash I'll pre-soak the panel with a little bit of rinseless, then spray on and let dwell a properly diluted APC, do a first pass to remove the dirt/grime/APC, then do a second pass to make sure I got all of the APC so that it doesn't dry on the paint. Takes a few extra seconds, but I feel (I have no real proof, right) like it works well enough. I also protect the paint after every wash.

Okay, so I want to remove every layer of wax that is on my car, because I know every wash and car wash I do, its just cleaning a minimum of the old layer and just adding a new wax on top so there's layers of grim. Bassicly I just buy a high ph soap and that will destroy all the waxes,?

Excellent video Scott! Finally another marketing myth on detailing products debunked. Great content and very easy to follow.

What if you take off all the wax and everything that was on the car, then you clay bar it so there are as little contaminants on the car as possible and then adding wax and every month waxing it again?

What if we have a ceramic coat on? Will This soap harm its longevity?

Does this mean its better to just use harsher soaps then add spray wax every car wash?

I know you get a lot of people calling you out for being paid by Meguiars etc - I don't think that's the case. But I do think Callaway are secretly sponsoring you - all those shirt placements ;-) On a serious note, does a Ph neutral soap take off the Meg's Fast Finish? I live in a super dusty part of the world so have to have to wash the car twice a week. Could you do the alkaline wash once a month and fast finish and then Ph neutral wash twice a week with no fast finish in between, or even Ph neutral twice a week and Fast Finish once a week?

Wow! Really enlightening!

Scott, a little late to comment on this video but Meguiars synthetic express spray wax works well to quickly get around the car too.

I uses cg citrus wash once every 6 weeks, mr prink or bill hamber in-between . think enough ?

I’m guessing this does not apply if you have a ceramic coating?

What about the Meguiar's Car Wash Plus, Scott? Would the polishing agents in the product clean off the road film? Mike Phillips has an article on the topic of traffic film in an Autogeek forum.

Can you use it safely on protective film?

So, my complete paint routine can look like this: -Wash with Purple Power Veh & Boat. -Chemical decontamination (is there anything incompatible with Purple Power? ) - Clay bar - Meguire's G18309?

When using the meguiars spray do you have to get rid of the microfiber towel after use?

so how does the process change with dpc armor in the mix and it didnt fade first wash

So, are you saying if I wash my truck, I can just spray that on to seal / protect it instead of waxing it?

So if I wash with the Purple Power Boat wash do I need to wax afterwards?

My sealant is supposed to last around 3 years (quartz) it's been 1.5 years so far and water still beads very well, and I maintenance wash around every month, car is a daily driver. The wash water is dirty but not overly dirty, and my car looks amazing after I wash it with my ph neutral soap.I would prefer to only go over the entire vehicle once every few years than every other week. If you are trying to procure constant, recurring business I guess this way is ok, but I'll stick to my way.

Scott, have you tested the effectiveness of the Purple Power by washing a contaminated car and then using a clay bar to see if all the contaminants were removed?

Could you wash matte black wheels with purple power ?

How often do you clay bar with this process? I have been using the purple power for several months and want to start using the ultimate fast finish and have never clay bar my van.

NonpH soap and Meguiars ultimate fast finish 7:16

Your process doesn't really account for the oils and stuff you may have stripped off the car with purple power. Other than that I agree with your premise. What do you think about foaming the whole car with purple power, then rinsing it after a few minutes? Then wash with Meguiars wash and wax soap?

are you saying you can use purple power every week? at what dilutions?

Very insightful Scott! Gonna check this out. My only concern is sealing the glass with the Ultimate Fast Finish. Have you tested it out on glass? Thanks my friend(: -DJ

Scott when do you apply it? And how?
